mysterious fast-paced

2.0

     This was a huge disappointment. I really thought I would like this one.  I had heard so many good things about this book going into it, and maybe that is my downfall. 

     I thought the letters were interesting, watching their lives fall apart you could say. I didn't really care about the present time in the chapel. I didn't think the story was scary or thrilling in anyway. The plot twist was interesting, but that just it. I didn't want a book that was just interesting. I wanted a thriller that made me sit on the edge of my seat. I wanted a book that I couldn't put down. This book wasn't that.

     I didn't guess the plot twist at the end, but I didn't really care. I wasn't invested in the story. I just felt like this book was such a flop.
